Marcia, Kathy, Martin & Family, I have such fond memories of growing up on Newfound with you. Gardner and I were good friends since grade school. I will miss seeing him from when he visited the farm. You all have my deepest sympathy.
Deepest sympathy to the family of my Erwin

So sorry to hear of the passing of Gardner. He was a very likeable person. I knew him from delivering to Food Lion .
I absolutely LOVED Gardner!! He was a kind hearted, funny and caring man. I have alot of good memories of this sweet man to tell my son when he gets older. No matter what we were discussing about cattle he would always asked me about my son. He will be greatly missed.
